Stalk Me if You Dare

i have this little calender that is full of helpful tips for what to do in any number of scenarios- including what to do when you get shot, fall in a subway, or have to walk thru a minefield. and todays little gem is entitled How to Deal with a Stalker (you people reading this blog know who you are!)

1. Firmly inform the stalker that if the unwanted behavior persists, you will take action
Threaten to contact authorities or a larger, stronger friend or relative. Be prepared to do so. Do not give in to any threats, and be ready to secure a restraining order or civil protection order if it becomes necessary for your peace of mind

2. Inform your family, friends, and co-workers of the situation

3. Keep a paper trail
Save any relevant letters, notes, emails, and voicemails - maintain a log or diary of your stalker's actions and report any unlawful behavior to the police immediately. Report phone calls to both the phone company and the police

4. Inform the authorities
Do not let fear of retribution stop you from taking action. Take legal action immediately

i wont mention any names (dani), but i've had, and do have, a few stalkers in my life. not only is it really creepy, but its also a little flattering. just think, someone thinks enough of you that they basically want to be you. i'll take that as a compliment. but the line has to be drawn somewhere. i presently have 18 restraining orders on various girls from my past. all i do is say hi to them and give a little wink and then they're stalking me! but on a more serious note, for any of you who may be wondering what to do with that person who peeks in your window at night, i hope this helps

ps. i can be that larger, stronger friend/relative if you need
